UP THE PACE

By -
As we result of the kids being sick so much in January, Jonathan and I find ourselves behind time in just about everything. His readings and assignments, my writing and other work commitments. Thankfully, the Chinese New Year break gave us a slight reprieve and brought the children much joy. Now that March is upon us, we find that we have to up the pace in order to get back on track. But before that, we have much to rejoice together with you.

Thanksgiving

1.       Mya has adjusted well to her new school and our generous Father answered her child-like giving her a slide in the new school compound.
2.       Nathan continues to grow well making a smooth transition into solid food.
3.       Amy is looking forward to getting back into the swing of work and ministry.
4.       Jonathan has made considerable progress with Hebrew despite initial worries and concerns.

Prayer items

Mya
1.       Continue to pray she will be a salt and light to both teachers and friends wherever she goes.
2.       Please remember her best friend, who is undergoing cancer treatment for the next five months.

Nathan
1.       Breathing has gotten considerably louder and laborious in the night, pray for restoration of lung function and sinus cavities to be clear.
2.       That he will take well to sleep training and begin to progress towards sleeping through the night now that he is nearly seven months old.

Amy
1.       Preaching on 2 March at Youth. Pray for conviction, clarity and creativity.
2.       Protection over the home front as she begins to work more (from home).

Jonathan
1.       Assignments, projects and presentations coming up in March, pray for speed, discipline and good energy all the way.
2.       Ministry continues despite the increased load in school, pray for multiplication of rest and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

UNEXPECTED MOLD-TIVATION

Image Source April has been an interesting month thus far. On one hand we are running to the finish of our first year in Seminary, whilst the little baby is going on to the last and final trimester. I (Amy) am now finding it hard to climb flights of stairs without panting and my hips are starting to ache from being too narrow for littlest Ji. Nonetheless, this is a month of God’s unfailing providence and never-ending surprises. Here are the top stories, including a mold spores horror story if you’d like to read on –

A NATE UPDATE

By -

Nathan will be going for open-heart surgery on the 14 th  of August to close the hole in his heart. The hole (VSD) has begun to show signs of leakage and the valve above the hole is starting to deform as a result of the pressure caused by the leak. Should the leak worsen, he will have to undergo two surgeries rather than one. As such, J and I have decided to go ahead with their current suggestion to patch the hole. -- What are your thoughts? Certainly, it is a major surgery and we will take care to prepare Nate (and ourselves) for it. But other than that, we are not too anxious. In contrast, we are grateful for the clarity and confidence the surgeon gave us yesterday. More importantly, we know full well that He is sovereign and in control. This entire heart journey is out of our hands and Nate, like every one of us, is at the mercy of our Creator. We do not think Nate’s condition is worse than any other child or better for that matter. Instead, we treasure...

Mya's prayer during the lockdown On the 20 th , Jonathan and I will celebrate seven years of marriage. We recently laughed at how it will take many more years of marriage to outnumber the years we were friends prior (16years). He also turns 30-something on the 25 th of July, having celebrated his graduation with a Masters of Divinity over Zoom he is now serving his beloved youth in a full-time capacity. Nathan turns two on 27 th July. Two evident years of the Lord’s goodness upon us. He is speaking more and more these days although it takes an interpreter (Mya) at times to understand what he is actually saying. He maintains his off the charts size and has begun to show a distinct love for music, dancing even in the middle of throwing a tantrum once music plays. Nathan goes in for surgeon review and conference on the 20 th ...
